Enterprise deployment of Meta Horizon Link: How to disable auto-updates for 150 Lab PCs?
We admin VR/Immersive software at a University. We currently deploy Meta Horizon Link to ~150 PCs and its used for Unity VR development with Meta Quest headsets. Students do not have admin rights. When the app auto-updates, the main software installs fine, but the driver updates fail because they trigger a UAC (Admin) prompt that students cannot accept. This leaves the software in a broken state until IT manually intervenes. The rolling/unpredictable release schedule makes this hard to plan for during a teaching term/semester. What we found so far Config: We found the new "Disable Auto-Updates" toggle in the UI, but it appears to be user-specific and stored as a binary BLOB in a local SQLite DB (data.sqlite). We are hesitant to script edits to this file on login as it seems brittle compared to a standard Registry key (?). Network: We are thinking of using a Windows Firewall rule to block the updater exe (OVRServiceLauncher.exe) to "freeze" the version for the term/semester. The trade-off is this would likely block the ability to download new store apps/experiences (though our primary use case is Unity dev, so this might be acceptable). Questions Has anyone successfully managed this in an enterprise/education environment? Or have any good hacks :) Is there a more robust way to disable updates than the firewall block? If you use the firewall method, have you run into any major side effects? Thanks!
Meta PC software can't reach Meta Quest Link services.
as you can see in my screenshot somethings not right. ive searched the internet but i found nothing, i use windows and this error came when i installed the software and it went through a scan to verify everythings alright. I also tried the "repair" button many times and uninstalled and reinstalled the program a couple of times but its still not working. (also restarted my pc many times and i also have a stable internet connection.) Does anyone know what i could try?
Can't install Quest Link, no continue button
Hi, I am trying to install the quest link on a new windows laptop, but it keeps getting stuck on the VR Downloads page after I log in to my account. There's no continue button or an option to select a location on this page. I reinstalled several times and changed the download location, but they didn't work. Has anyone experienced this before?
Nvidia RTX 5090
Hi everyone, I'm thinking of purchasing a high-performance computer for some simulations to run on my Quest 3 via Link. I found a PC that would have an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, but I couldn't find anything about compatibility in the official specifications. Can anyone help me? Thanks to anyone who can help me.
